Velocity Based Training is an objective method of evaluatiing intensity of a given movement. It is also a great way to evaluate your “max percentages” during traning. It can allow you to see if you are with in the correct realm of you progression or its a great use to decide a starting weight (especially coming off a long lay off).
The following chart is an example of what i have used as an easy method for athletes and coaches to evaluate their VBT.
Very simple to use: Whatever speed is programmed, the goal is to train with in the the given percentage. if you exceed the the velocity (M/S) with in the percentage then progress up. The bold underlined number above each section signify an “estimated max”. (*this is only part of the chart)
